Dramatic Decrease in Number
of
Defeats Reported in a Test for Spartan
Tag

RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, Calif., (August 21, 2014) – In a store plagued by high
shrink,
USS was able to decrease the number of tag defeats to almost zero with its
Spartan tag, the company reports.

“A large national chain gave us a challenge to help with a store where they were
finding up to 30 of our competitor’s tags defeated on the sales floor every
week,” says Michael Sayegh, USS’ R&D project manager. “We developed a new
tag—code named Spartan—that would address the specific challenges that the
retailer shared with us. The results were astonishing.”

“In a 30-day test of our Spartan tag in this same store only 3 defeats were
reported,” adds Tony Oliver, USS’ chief technology officer. “And even then it
wasn’t the tag that was defeated: the thieves cut the material around the tag
and stole coats that were now damaged. So it was really the poor coats that were
defeated.”

In answering the question of how is it possible to go from 30 defeats a week to
just 3 per month, Oliver explained that the Spartan is constructed with several
anti-tampering features including a longer pin, notched seat for the pin head, a
clutch that can withstand up to 180 lbs of pull force, and at least one more
feature that he said he could not reveal publically.

The company is offering a limited number of free samples of this tough tag
through its website, but only to LP professionals with a verifiable LP role and
corporate mailing address:
